In between all this China-Japan love demonstration, I think I need to point out that cultural links between Pakistan and India are much stronger than those between China and Japan. :p
Interesting that you bought up the axe. According to mythology, Kerala was created by the act of Parsuram throwing his axe towards the sea. The sea receded upto the point when the axe struck creating Kerala.

I was too busy eating and drinking and eating and drinking again :p
I've always wanted to go to Waynaad. I've only been to the coastal areas of Northern Kerela to which I have close connections.
I've eaten at Pakistani joints here in the UK. They are tasty but contain lots of oil and not as much sauce as I would like in it. Why don't you guys have more sauce in your curries. I am always scraping the dish with my naan towards the end of the meal.
I would much rather eat at a Pakistani...
Same experience here. Though I am from a higher caste, I had no idea what 'caste' was until the time I had to apply for an Engineering seat. That was the first time I realised that people were discriminated based on caste. I spent all my childhood in Bombay/Mumbai and was never made aware of my...
Hmm.. real video? Who stood there taking a video of voyager flying past the moons?
The video does state that the video was based on the pictures taken by voyager.
I believe it is time for humans to evolve again to stop using religion to support their insecurities. Humans are connected and better informed then ever before and have a better understanding of the world around them. There is no need of this emotional crutch any more.
I am a Mumbaikar and know Sena politics first hand. I know how intimidation is used to enforce their diktats. Disagree with them on something and be prepared to be beaten up or your shop vandalised. This is unfortunately used by the youth in Mumbai as a way of getting things done.

A girl posted on facebook that the bandh called for Bal Thackeray's funeral was wrong. Another girl liked it.
This apparently riled up the Shiv Senics who went onto trash the...
Children as they grow up learn that others may have opinions different to yours and that you cannot throw a tantrum when someone differs with your opinions. In the case of the girls, they had every right to have a differing opinion about the bandh call in Mumbai. I cannot see how saying that a...
This is a natural progression from destroying property. Ignore the acts of one sena of destroying public property and encourage these other senas to attack people.
I prefer the current system of bank holidays which fall either on Monday or Friday.
Is the petition asking for random holidays in the middle of the week? In that case a big fat _NO_ from me. I celebrate long weekends a lot more than religious holidays.
On economic issues I should have been a natural conservative but considering how they have been demonising immigrants all through their term in government, I am voting against them. I haven't decided whom to vote for yet. :)
While I appreciate your sentiments the court of law doesn't work on sentiments. Maybe someday there will be some sort of union similar to that of the EU. Just that it is not possible in today's political environment.
Considering the number of flip-flops about the MFN issue I am convinced that the Pakistani government is unable to de-link economic ties from the usual India-Pakistan tu-tu mein-mein.
